I Was Only 4 words into the Frum/Perle Book before I started screaming
Edited on Tue Jan-13-04 12:10 PM by khephra
It starts with the intoductory quote, "These are the times...."

:puke:


Cthulhu, I'm sorry, but you ain't got nothing on these evil screwtops.

1. Why are you reading it?
Did you buy it? You're braver than I.

This is one place where Amazon's policy of selling used books can be useful. If you buy it used, the authors make no money on the sale.

BTW, the Suskind book is out today and Amazon is already selling used copies. This is why authors hate, hate, hate Amazon. I do no business with them whatsoever.

2. Some things on from the Right are required reading
Although, after that start, I'm wondering how much antacid it will take to finish the book.

5. Well you are quite the brave soul.
I'm nauseated to the gazoo that if I were to read that
propaganda I would..........lose it literally.

Just keep your head up high!

4. just 2 quick points on the furm/perle book
perle says the US should get out of the UN because the UN was designed to deal with states invading international borders, and not terrorism.

point one: the only state that has consistantly violated international boarders, or directly backed states who violate international borders, is the US.

point two: the reason that the UN charter is not equiped to handle terrorism from a legal stand point is because the US vetoed the UN resolution on terrorism in the 80's under regan.

if people are not aware of this veto, they might begin to think perle is credible

this is not an in depth annalisis, just off the top of my head, good luck with the book.

6. Well, I lost my temper watching Blitzer interview them
this morning on TV, so I doubt I could read even the first four words without going nuclear.

7. You actually bought that book? Or were you reading it in the book store?
Gosh, I hope you didn't buy it.

9. I Heard Them on Charlie Rose
and to his credit, Rose got increasingly incredulous and disturbed at the necocon line that Perle and Frum were holding to. I have rarely seen him get exasperated like that.

10. I'm sure Rose will get a call from Rove
telling him he'd better toe the line or something might happen to someone he loves.
